Hello Friend,, The rapture pro set is a little on the expensive side, but well worth the pay-off, I have played with them for about 8 months now, I bought them when first came out. Swing speed is a little quicker than the starters, but about half less the speed of most other Pro clubs,,it's all about control, I have found them very rewarding for distance also. I am now, at this time, renting Ping Master G10 irons. I have found there swing twice that of the raptures, but able to leap tall building,,lol Explain 4 u,,,, Master tee boxes are set farther back and make for longer iron shots to the green,Approach,,, in most cases varying on the course, the g10 hits a little longer for the most part,, but also stops the ball faster with it's back spin. I'm having some trouble with them, as trying hit center line on the swing meter happens faster, but when I do hit center, they're on the mark. You can rent clubs which is costly at 180 credits for the g10 set of irons, but worth the rental price if you continue to play. I've been playing just over a year now. Make wise your choices, test the water, renting saves in the long run, but remember you only rent for 24 hours and then there gone. Find and play what fits your comfort. Hope there was something in what I said that helps you. FYI,, I played at Pro level with starter clubs, trying to become a master, a week or two after I purchased Raptures I became a master,, I can hang with most in this game, only until the meter monster makes it's presents known,,,,lol But It sure is nice to soar with eagles, birdies, pars, yeah and even boogey's at time's, it's a game we love to hate but hate to love,in it's time. I love the game on and off the computer. Good luck in your choice, play well,,have fun.
